I am currently addicted to the discovery health channel these days. I recently saw this series hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz. They had some interesting ones -- how to be young and beautiful, how to be healthy and how to be sexy. They test these theories in a non rigorous scientific way with these studies. The one that really caught my attention was that eating foods rich in lycopene can help you not to sunburn as easily. They actually exposed a womans screen to some rays using a machine to burn small bits of it. Then took the results of this and had her eat a certain amount of tomato paste for some weeks then did the test again. She had something like a 30 percent improvement when the same test was done on her meaning her skin burned less. That was really sweet. I'm interested in Dr. Oz's new series starting this Wednesday. Anyone else watching these?

I read the book based on the series, and it was very interesting

Hmmmm interesting!!

I'm known as snow white at work (skin white as snow, lips red as rubies - well not quite, but I never wear lipstick, just colorless gloss).

I burn so quickly... and fake and bake (no matter the quality) always makes my skin turn orange.

I'm gonna eat lotsa tomatoes!
